Considering two of their songs are currently being used in adverts (Strangelove and Just Can't Get Enough), and that they've been covered by such a diverse range of acts as The Saturdays, Marilyn Manson, Tori Amos, Johnny Cash etc...anyone who says they don't know any DM songs, probably doesn't actually listen to music (or watch tv!).

Adverts? Who are they playing the corporate shill for?

Strangelove being covered by the Friendly Fires for Gucci (I think) and that god awful Saturdays version of Just Can't Get Enough (already a pretty rubbish DM song) I think for DFS!

I'm siding with Neil on this one. The argument for them actually ever headlining is dead in the water.

First post for quite a while but I just had to on this thread! Big DM fan, not obsessive, but I first saw them live at the Brighton Dome in, ahem, 1983  

Just reiterating a lot of previous comments (and they have made interesting reading, coming from fans and non-fans). Agree with cejx and any others who said the same that I would LOVE to see them as Pyramid headliners but I just don't think it will happen. They are still a huge band (yes they are Neil but perhaps their star has faded a little in the UK) and have a cracking back catalogue that I think would surprise a lot of people who might go and see them out of a passing interest. Gahan has fantastic stage presence too - a proper frontman. I see no reason at all why they should not headline OS though but I think cejx is right by saying they will not do it when they are out of the touring 'zone' so it won't be this year. Weren't they a strong rumour for last year for quite a few weeks?

Never Let Me Down Again - possibly the best encore song EVER. I will never tire of seeing that performed live

Ah right, cheers. That's not too bad, I thought they were flogging their own songs
